Has there been a Democratic leader in elected office who espoused more progressive policies since LBJ?

It’s not a rhetorical question, as a quick scan of my often-deficient memory banks doesn’t show anyone at the level of Tim Walz. I expect grassroots organizations will form and support one another. Some eight years from now, after President Harris has fulfilled two terms, Tim Walz could become the next President - and what an agenda he would bring, already bolstered from eight years of organizing on the ground.

1. Progressuve ideology is Democratic party ideology.

...it's good to some balance returning.

2. Very timely post.

I don't know if you're aware that yesterday was the 59th year anniversary of LBJ signing the Voting Rights Amendment.
A law that has survived well until the Roberts Court began snipping away at it.

4. I think Tim Walz surpasses even Joe Biden on this scale

5. There's espousing, there's promoting, and there's signing, and they're all different.

The lege pushed Walz hard on a lot of what's being credited only to him. The successes in Minnesota were not a top-down executive effort. He's also made some decisions that put him at odds with his own party, or the left flank of his own party. He's a good man and a good politician, and that's enough.
